Contract awarded for school crossing improvements

Renovations are coming to school crossings near three local elementary schools after Santa Clarita City Council members voted to approve the project during their meeting Tuesday.

The project consists of physical improvements such as restriping crosswalks and replacing signs at crossings near James Foster Elementary School, Skyblue Mesa Elementary School and Pinetree Community School.

Similar projects have already been completed at 15 other school locations around the city, according to council documents.
